Down Rounder is a set that spans slow-burning Americana to ragged indie-rock, all united by Cat Clyde’s expressive, malleable vocal. As she wrote the record, she discovered that her songs expressed a longing to find a place that felt like home and where she could be part of something greater than herself. Those poetic lyrics are infused with a spirituality and a respect for the natural world around us. The album was recorded in just six days of sessions at Sound City Studios in Los Angeles with producer Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Taylor Swift, Paul McCartney).

Down Rounder is her third solo studio album after her debut Ivory Castanets and the spellbinding Hunters Trance, but she has also released the Good Bones acoustic set and Blue Blue Blue, a collab with Jeremie Albino. She has accumulated millions of streams along the way, including 20 million for her early fan favourite “Mama Said.
